JAMES, in the oface of the Librarian of Congress, Washington, D. C. PREFACE, Notwithstanding that so many books have "been "written on PhtsicaIi CuLTUEE, there still remained a large field to be covered—hence the publication of the present volume. Great care having been taken in its compilation, we feel confident that the work will be in every sense of the word practical ; so that those who desire may follow whatever their fancy prefers in athletic sports, in a creditable manner. In our opinion, the general usefulness of the book could in no way be improved upon; but, in order to be thoroughly posted ia the laws governing athletic contests, the "Manual of Sporting Eules," as a companion to this work, will be found very beneficial. The table of Proportional Measurements, according to height and weight, will form a good guide for the athlete as to his special muscular develop- ment. Banting's System of Beducing Corpulency, though not exactly intended for training purposes, is not to be despised, containing, as it does, much interesting and reliable information, on the subject of diet especially. To comiolete the treatise, and in order to prove what can be done by man when in proper physical condition, we add a record of the best athletic performances. CONTENTS-.

[According to Chables Westhatx, a physician, as wdl as one of EnglancCs greatest pedestrians. "[ PEDESTEiAmsM, from its being the basis and priacipal agent in securing a thorough and perfect training to all who may have, from choice or necessity, to undergo a great- amount of physical exertion, may be considered the chief feature in the preparation of men for all contests in which great strength, speed, and wind may be required. From this point of view the science of walking will be treated in the present work; for whether a man may have entered in an engagement to run, walk, jump, swim, row, or box, no training can be thoroughly accomplished until the athlete has undergone a certain amount of exercise on foot, and reduced his superfluous weight to such an extent that he can follow up his peculiar forte with fair chance of improvement, or at least so that he may not have to stop short from sheer want of wind or strength. Pedestrianism, which has before been stated to be more or less indispensable to the man undergoing preparation, from its healthful and beneficial effect upon the human frame, is of most vital importance in keeping the required equable balance which should exist ia every constitution, w^hether robust or otherwise. Good training is as requis- ite to any man who wishes to excel, as it is to the thorough- bred race-horse. A man who is fleshy and obese might as well attempt to compete with a well-traioed mail as the race-horse that has been fed for a prize-show to again enter the lists with his highly-prepared and well-tr.iioed contemporaries. A man may be endowed with every req- ; PEACTICAL TEAINING. Tiisite in health, strength, muscle, length, courage, bone, and all other qualifications ; but if untrained, these quali- fications are of no value, as, in every instance, a man or horse, well-trained, of much inferior endowments, has al- ways under the circumstances proved the victor. Good condition, which is the term used by trainers to indicate the perfect state of physical power to which the athlete has arrived, is one of the greatest safeguards to his health as, in many instances, severe and long-continued exertion when unprepared has had an injurious and continuous effect on tlie constitution, and, in some few but fortunately almost isolated cases, produced almost instant death. These few words are not alone intended for the man who has to compete, but for a great portion of mankind, who go through the regular routine of life day after day, their business being sometimes performed with apathy, and the remainder of their time passed in excessive smoking, eat- ing, drinking, sleeping, sitting, or any small pet vice to which they may be addicted. That such a man can under- go the same process of training as the professional who has an engagement to perform some arduous task against time or a fleet antagonist, we do not ask or expect—his occupation would not allow the same time; but the asser- tion that he would perform his allotted duties with more pleasure to himeelf and more satisfaction to all concerned if he were to submit to undergo a partial training, is a truth that ought to be tested by all who have any regard for continued good health. Were this system carried out to even a small extent, the physician would have cause to lament the decline of his practice, and the advertising quack become a nonentity. As a proof how necessary training is considered by the professional, it is only requis- ite to ask any pedestrian of note for his candid opinion to satisfy the most incredulous. The higher in the pedestrian grade the man may be to whom the question may be put the better, in consequence of his having gone through the whole performance, from novicehood upwards ; and, in every instance, it will be found that more than one of his defeats will be attributed to want of condition (proper training) arising from neglect of work or other causes, such as carelessness in diet, want of practice, and, in some instances, from the neglect of the precepts attempted to be inculcated by his trainer. Most of the above mistakes have arisen from overweening confidence in his own powers, or from underrating his adversaries' abilities. However CHARLES ROWELL. Champion Long-distance Pedestrian of the World. WILLIAM GALE, 10 who walked 4,000 quarter miles in 4,000 consecutive minutes. PKACTICAL TRAINING. 7 'Willing and thoughtful he may have been, these contretemps have almost invariably been the fate of ail our leading athletes, not only in the pedestrian circle, but in the ring, on the water, and in all sports in which a great lead has ever been taken by man. He will inform the querist that he will require from a month to two months for his prep- aration, and if he has been out of practice for some time, even more—thus showing to the dullest intellect the req- uisite time and attention needed ; for if a man who has shone pre-eminent in the sphere he has chosen for his ex- ertions, and has had the benefit of previous trainings, must again undergo the same ordeal as heretofore, a man totally untrained must at least requke the same preparation, as well as a greater amount of practice, to fully develop his particular forte as a pedestrian. To sum up in a few words, training is a complete system of diet and exercise duly carried out and strenuously adhered to. From the mode of hfe which almost all lead, the health becomes impaired, and the only remedy will be discovered by him who fol- lows the principle of training in some form or other, the more simple the better. That the same system of training will suit all constitutions, it would be absurd folly to ad- vance ; or that the same amount of work and strictness of diet is requisite for a man about to run a race of one hun- dred and twenty yards, as for a struggle of an hour's dura- tion, would be equally preposterous.

  • Triple Plays Analysis
    A Second Look At The Triple Plays By Chuck Rosciam This analysis updates my original paper published on SABR.org and Retrosheet.org and my Triple Plays sub-website at SABR. The origin of the extensive triple play database1 from which this analysis stems is the SABR Triple Play Project co-chaired by myself and Frank Hamilton with the assistance of dozens of SABR researchers2. Using the original triple play database and updating/validating each play, I used event files and box scores from Retrosheet3 to build a current database containing all of the recorded plays in which three outs were made (1876-2019). In this updated data set 719 triple plays (TP) were identified. [See complete list/table elsewhere on Retrosheet.org under FEATURES and then under NOTEWORTHY EVENTS]. The 719 triple plays covered one-hundred-forty-four seasons. 1890 was the Year of the Triple Play that saw nineteen of them turned. There were none in 1961 and in 1974. On average the number of TP’s is 4.9 per year. The number of TP’s each year were: Total Triple Plays Each Year (all Leagues) Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's <1876 1900 1 1925 7 1950 5 1975 1 2000 5 1876 3 1901 8 1926 9 1951 4 1976 3 2001 2 1877 3 1902 6 1927 9 1952 3 1977 6 2002 6 1878 2 1903 7 1928 2 1953 5 1978 6 2003 2 1879 2 1904 1 1929 11 1954 5 1979 11 2004 3 1880 4 1905 8 1930 7 1955 7 1980 5 2005 1 1881 3 1906 4 1931 8 1956 2 1981 5 2006 5 1882 10 1907 3 1932 3 1957 4 1982 4 2007 4 1883 2 1908 7 1933 2 1958 4 1983 5 2008 2 1884 10 1909 4 1934 5 1959 2
